معرفی
Prof. Dong (Lilly) Liu is an Associate Professor in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow at Trinity College. She joined Oxford in January 2024 from the University of Bristol, where she led the Experimental Mechanics of Advanced Materials group. Prior to that, she held fellowships at Oxford, including the 1851 Exhibition Royal Commission Fellowship and an EPSRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Her research focuses on advanced materials in extreme conditions, with applications across nuclear energy, aerospace, and power electronics.
Prof. Liu holds a BEng and PhD, though specific institutions are not detailed in the text. Her research interests include nano/microstructural characterization of materials under irradiation, elevated temperatures, and cryogenic environments. She has pioneered studies on nuclear graphite, TRISO fuel particles, and ceramic matrix composites using techniques like in situ tomography and neutron diffraction.
She serves on international committees including ASTM, TMS, and IOM3, and organizes conferences globally. Her work has led to over £3 million in funding from bodies like EPSRC, STFC, and industrial partners such as Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories.
Key awards include the 1851 Exhibition Royal Commission Fellowship, EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship, and Junior Research Fellowship. Her group collaborates with institutions worldwide, advancing materials science for next-generation energy systems and aerospace technologies.
